I have a great question for you Have you got everything you deserver? , I am sure 90% people will say no. Most of us once in our lives must have not got what we deserved and the only thought that crosses our minds would be ‘so what! Leonardo have also not won the Oscar despite being a brilliant actor’. This statement was such a relief for all those unfortunate lot who work hard but never got recognized for it. Leonardo was an ideal for all these people, however, now people can’t relate them to him anymore, because he is among the proud winners of Oscar. A well-deserved victory for him. With four Oscar nominations to his name, which is no less an accomplishment and winning now the golden man, this journey for Leonardo has been a long wait for the laurel. There were several memes dedicated to him for his unsuccessfulness to bag an Oscar. He made an impact on the minds of people but failed every time to make an impression on the minds of the jury, which was a much talked about topic all over the world. His atypical and versatile performances in many more were winning the hearts but not Oscars for him. Finally after when he won this prestigious award there are people who think that the reason he won the award for ‘The Revenant’ is not because he performed outstandingly but because he was due for Oscars. His better performances were not awarded and a mediocre performance as in The Revenant bagged him that much awaited prize for this skills.

Somehow this adage appears so true ‘Awards are not always for the deserved’. The institution of awards and the people at jury fail to recognize the real talent so many times. Mostly, they are influenced by some wrong perceptions or their own opinions to hail a nominee as a winner. Leonardo is one such classic case of Oscar winners/losers, where in, the jury never acknowledged him for his out of the box lethal performances and they seem to get impressed by a mediocre performance which he had done, leading to a questionable state about the authenticity of such awards. Somehow the campaigning, PR etc. also play a deterrent role in someone’s win, it’s not just the quality of work that matters to the jury.

This year probably there was not much of a competition for Leonardo and he earned appreciation both critically and commercially making it big for himself from all directions. Oscars are awarded to veterans and established actors, as the history says people with an established fame get Oscars not the lesser known actors, in that view Leonardo is a name that is revered not only in Hollywood but across the globe. Leonardo would have won this award already for his film ‘What’s Eating Gilbert Grape’ when he was just 20 years old. This year Leonardo had been the only actor that fulfilled every awkward criterion to be an Oscar winner and finally this indefinable trophy got a place in his shelf. Fans are happy for him, however they kind of opinionate that this win could have come to him much before for this exceptional versatility as an actor in many more from his bandwagon. He turned indisputably inimitable plots into commercial successes but his worth got recognized through a movie in which he delivered a good performance which was far lesser than his other stalwart portrayals.

This year Leonardo did not leave any room for improvement while campaigning for The Reverent. Be it telling the world about the frozen cold of the shooting locations of The Reverent or be it telling them that they survived by eating the bison’s liver which made him sick. He made every impression telling people how much he strived to get into the character. He successfully made a mark! It became a proved notion that talent does not play a hundred percent role in one’s success, it is the advertising and branding of oneself that makes someone more acceptable by people. Masses react to aura , they go to watch their stars for substance , however they form an image behind their mind before they go for a movie or anything spectacular that captures their attention do play a substantial role in making a movie and it’s stars a hit.

It was an era of absolute serenity when noise pollution could only be caused by screaming people or the music being played over the Radio. People had hardly anything to celebrate except that one box which played the old classics and new songs for some time in the morning and for quite a while in the evening which would be followed by some national and international news. For rest of the day there would be that strange sound of buzzing bee that played out of that box. Until the television was invented and it became a household name, it was radio that filled the corners of the house with life. Then started the era of television, and in the 70’s people were using both the boxes to entertain themselves. Television industry was boosted with the advent of satellite channels /TV.

There was an entirely new wave of change and television became a must have in every house and with hundreds of channels at the click of a button, people almost forgot the radio and to an extent the theatres. In the late nineties the Radio industry boomed and the makeover of the radio channels lifted the long forgotten Radio box. There was an increase in the number of radio frequencies. These Radio channels beautified themselves and made an impact on the listeners by their trendy RJs (Radio Jockeys) who were no less the entertainers than the VJs of the television. The RJs of the modern radio channels do not have a face to the voice that conquers the hearts of millions. The revamping of the Radio to come at par with the satellite TV has been successful to a major extent and now radio comes as an application in all the smartphones. People like this ‘on the go’ nature of the Radio and they truly find it ‘cool’ to play at just a tune of frequency. Radio is the new face of modern entertainment industry. The Radio signals reach everywhere as a result it is still the primary source of information in the remote areas.

Radio has undergone through a complete evolution. It is now accessible through internet just as television. Going to office and coming back to home, the most favorite activity that the people like to do is to listen the Radio. The perky jokes, the hilarious situational comedy done by the RJs comes as a relief in the mundane life style of the people. The programs that are telecasted on the Radio are so interactive and involve the rushing population on their way to office that people has made it a part of their lives so much that they kick off their mornings with the peppy Radio RJs. Besides sheer entertainment that these Radio channels do they also take the issues from the entire world and subject them for discussion to the common man. This bond between a talking machine and its listener is so integral that they feel incomplete without starting the day with the tune box. After the revamping of modern day Radio, the advertising industry has also been given a new boost. The local businesses have their sales doubled as their services and products can be advertised repeatedly over the Radio and people surely get influenced.

The inexpensive nature of the Radio have made its popularity so widespread. Radio is a unique medium to visualize and to play images with music and words. The truth is that human mind is capable of producing a plethora of images out of the words that goes into it and make the audio effects dominate over the visuals. To an extent the audience do not like to be spoon fed by the idiot box but use their own intelligence and past experiences to create the images they like it to be. The Radio entertainment gives the audience complete liberty to plunge into the visualization and use their sub conscious mind for making the sense out of those flowing words or syllables that come from it. The best part is all this liberty of a yearning mind comes absolutely free of cost.

No installation and no monthly payment of anything, what it needs is either an instrument with an antenna or an application in some smart device and a dedicated group of audience. Therefore Radio will always reigns the supreme!

We have seen many people who are always decide whether to watch movie or not depending on whether they like trailer or did it have good review from people or critics or newspaper or someone else, really cinema need to judge by 2 min trailer or a review from someone who do not even know.

Let’s talk about trailer, if you decide to watch or not to watch cinema depending on the trailer and What if trailer is not good and not make by the person who has created movie and he did bad job or trailer is not reachable or something else then are you going to judge or garbage that film just because trailer is not good? Is the 2 odd hrs. of cinema is entirely get its charm for 2 mins, if the film genre is suspense thriller then film makers really have very less content to show in trailer because they don’t want to give anything in trailer, on other hands if film has good songs then makers put song clips all other trailer. I am not saying trailer is completely wrong but they are meant to give glimpse of cinema not to judge wheatear film is good or bad. Film is good or bad is different for each and every one depending on his or her own personality

Now let’s talk about review, there are many review website, videos, critics who does reviews for all kinds of movie some time they are right some time they are not, Many time reviewers are biased about some actors , director or so called production house, oh! Yes don’t forget about official sponsors they have to talk good about the movie, so whatever reviews you are getting are they right for you. I think they are definitely not because the basic thing which is different in entire mankind is the reaction to the emotions, sense of humor, test of topic and particular the genre of movies. It is not necessary the film or test the reviewer has you have the same, I can tell you many movies which has got bad or worst reviews but I have enjoyed those movies because I like that genre.

I have decided from now onwards if you are really film jerk and want to see some quality movies then please don’t judge the movie from the 2 min trailer or the reviews done by someone who has little bit more knowledge of films than you. It is always relative, it is always personal preference so if you have missed some of the movies because of those less stars then think again you might have missed something which might not be great or good but still you will like it.
